Well, a lot has happened since my last entry. We moved to Indonesia and started working on Jesmonite designs, my older son has rescued a street cat that still lives with us and it looks like my cat allergies are gone, we visited the Komodo Islands on a wooden sailing boat, Starship had it's 4th test flight that looked like something out of Starwars, the second Cosmic Summit conference has been held and I'm still in the process of going through some of the talks, BTC has hit a new all time high, I read "The New Science Of Heaven" by Robert Temple and did the sacred geometry course by Randall Carlson, Trump had his ear pierced by a bullet (they will likely try again to assassinate him) and much, much more. I'm not exactly sure if I even want to continue this blog because it feels like I'm using it more like a journal since I don't have much else to post about other than private thoughts and developments... and why would I put something private like that on a public domain? I can not truly post my private thoughts freely anyway cause they seem too crazy to utter in public... I am still working on 3d models for games but mostly client work that I can not post publicly due to NDAs... Maybe I'll start posting some Jesmonite designs. Then again... I should probably do that on the official business website/blog... I don't really see any point in continuing the blog. No one is reading it and I am not even sure I actually want anyone to read it. Plus making posts takes time and this website and domain take money to maintain...

For reasons unknown I am experiencing an overwhelming desire today to start a company called Space Eggs...  Note to self. Company Of One by Paul Jarvis has been a true treasure trove of good advice for me in my current situation. It was a huge relieve to read that I'm not the only one walking this path. It also really takes the pressure off of having to conform to common practices in business. It's jam packed with good information and mind opening thoughts so I'll need to give it a second and maybe even a third listen.  For now I just want to note down one thing that stuck out to me today and that I have been thinking about a lot after hearing it. Passion follows mastery... and not the other way around At least in most cases... In other words... the advice to " follow your passion" and the search for it can leave one confused, lost and unhappy. This sounds depressing but really it is not. Because it takes the pressure off of having to find "a passion" and instead tells you to just get good at something instead. I find this makes things much simpler. Could one go one step further and say mastery follows purpose? As in having a clear goal? Something that one wants to achieve can give one purpose that then leads to the mastery of the skill needed to achieve that goal. And now we've come full circle. Back to the advice that lifestyle gurus commonly give: "You need to have a goal!" ... But I like the mastery angle. That was something I had sort of known but not consciously realized before until it was put in words.
Today's shower thought after finishing my tax report and mentally going through the chain of events that would inevitably follow were I to stubbornly refuse to pay them to the bitter end: The only TRUE laws are the inescapable & omnipresent laws of physics/nature. They exist with or without us across the universe and all creatures and things must abide by them willingly or not. All else we adhere to in life... country borders, legal systems, money, religions, taxes, property rights, human rights etc. is naught but an ongoing life action role play that everyone simply takes very seriously... Guess I'll play along a little longer and pay my taxes though... don't see how to opt out of the game.  If an all powerful alien species happened to land on earth they might not care very much about our rules... but they will abide the laws of physics. The intrinsic forces that shape reality.
Consciousness may be the most precious thing in the universe. It is the source of joy and sorrow. It is what makes the people you love worth loving. It is the boundary between life and death... Everything and everyone we care about is given substance by consciousness. It is the carrier of all value. If the universe was destroyed it would not matter... if there was no one there to perceive it. What about ants, do they have a low level of consciousness? What about dogs? They sure seem to think for themselves and have feelings such as joy, anger or guilt... are they aware of who they are or what is funny and what is ironic? What about us... are there higher forms of consciousness than ours? If so, what new insights and emotions might a higher form of consciousness be capable of experiencing? It is possible to have a body without consciousness... but is it possible to have consciousness without a body? Is consciousness even tied to a body of flesh and blood or can it occur in a digital mind as well? But what gives rise to consciousness? How is it possible that consciousness arises from constellations of atoms? Could consciousness give life and personality to lifeless objects such as robots or is complex, organic chemistry required?  |
Dev logHi! This is Matt. I'm using mattslog.com as a place to record the development of projects I'm working on... as well as noting down some random thoughts and reminders... perhaps a little journaling. In short ... it's the place where I post my s... tuff. Categories
